After becoming obsessed with knitting socks, I quickly realized that as much as I like knitting with the stripe-y, variegated sock yarns, I’m just not a multi-colored sock wearer. I prefer plain colored socks, and to make them more fun to knit, lace is my thing. After knitting quite a few different lace socks, I decided to take an established lace pattern and use it to make a sock.

These socks use a 12-row lace pattern that looks complicated but really is not! The lace pattern is the Snowflake pattern from ‘99 Knit Stitches’ and was adapted to allow knitting in the round. This sock uses a stockinette stitch heel, but you can substitute a reinforced heel if you choose.
